“Jing was amazing. She sent a lot of updates and photos which helped me feel comfortable leaving my pups while I was at work during the day. They were happy and well taken care of when I got home!”
About: I've loved animals my whole life and have been around cats in one way or another for most of my life. I grew up with multiple cats and I've been taking care of my cat Cole since adopting her in 2018 as a kitten. I've been volunteering at a cat shelter for several years as a socializer and love visiting as many cats as I can when I'm there (I always stay longer than my shift). I love them dearly, always want what's best for them, and would treat your cat with the same care concern I'd treat for my own. I'd be happy to provide drop-in visits for feedings/etc or to provide your cat with some play/social time! I love meeting new cats and taking in their unique quirks! While I've had a lot more exposure to felines, I've spent time and cared for several dogs as well and would gladly care for yours while you are away. I've had a lot of good experiences with them - I’m good pals with my landlady's pitbull and my dad’s chocolate lab! I’ll give your dog lots of attention and be mindful of their personality, especially during walks. I’ve had some anxious ones that can get a bit testy when they see other dogs during walks and I’ve handled them well. I'm between jobs at the moment, so I am fairly flexible in terms of availability with some notice. Sunday is my day for volunteering, though I can swap my shift if need be to provide your pet with the care it needs. I'm happy to arrange for shorter/longer visits on single/recurring basis. Can assist with feedings, playtime or just hang out and provide them a loving lap! Also happy to provide photo/video updates of your fur babies to help put your mind(s) at ease!
“Scarlet was extremely communicative, sweet and timely. She kept me updated and informed and even made time for a meet and greet a few days before since my pup can get a little nervous around new people. Will definitely be using her services again!!”
“Xavier was great! He was on time and patient. I have two dogs with special needs and Xavier took care of them with no issue. He sent plenty of pictures and they clearly were very well taken care of. He was communicative and very helpful!”
“Kathryn is all the things you’d want in a dog walker! Clear communication, always on time, and so caring of our dog. We get thorough and funny updates after each walk and super cute pictures of our pup! 😄🐕🐾”

About: I have worked taking care of pets in a multitude of environments. Been a pet sitter for over 10 years and worked with an array of different dog and cat breeds. Have taken care of sick and disabled animals as well. Have always enjoyed this as a side career. I have worked with both small and large dogs and have adjusted my technique accordingly. I also have experience in taking care of cats as well as providing medical treatment to sick animals. I have experience working for a professional pet sitting company and as well as the inner workings of a veterinary hospital. I am willing to invest time and energy to make the pet happy, which is important for both the owner and the pet. I have worked with a number of rescues over the years and have had pet care experience for over 10 years with a variety of dogs and cats. So I have no trouble giving the time needed. I believe that it’s important to make every pet comfortable and happy. I have pets of my own over the years who have gotten from many rescues and believe sitter and pet bond is important.
About: As a dog dad and future medical doctor, I bring a unique blend of compassion, responsibility, and attention to detail to pet care. My experience in healthcare has trained me to be observant, reliable, and adaptable, which are qualities that are essential when caring for pets. I understand the importance of trust and consistency, especially for senior pets or those with special needs. Whether it’s keeping up with high-energy dogs, providing gentle care for older pets, or administering medications, I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As a student currently applying to medical school, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet care. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I can adapt to fit your pet’s needs. My routine is structured yet flexible, ensuring that your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away! As a dog dad myself that has used Rover on numerous occasions, I know how important it is to find a sitter you can trust. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s. I follow owner instructions closely, maintain routines, and ensure plenty of exercise, play, and affection. With my healthcare background and attention to detail, I’m always mindful of a pet’s well-being, keeping an eye out for any signs of discomfort or distress. Your furry friend will be in responsible, loving hands—just like I’d want for my own dog.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Hackensack
I’m so happy I found Christine! She is incredibly nice, flexible, and accommodating. My dog absolutely loves her afternoon walks, and I love knowing she’s getting a nice, long walk with someone who genuinely cares about her. Having someone so trustworthy, reliable, and close to home has made my days so much easier and gives me such peace of mind knowing my dog is in good hands. She’s an absolute pleasure to work with, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Highly recommend!
Amanda was amazing!! My dog is anxious and takes some time to warm up to people. Amanda took her time with him and they became fast friends! She sent lots of pictures, was always providing updates and just did a wonderful job in general! I cannot recommend her more.. very very happy
Sophia was absolutely amazing with Bishop! From the very beginning, she was kind, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bishop was happy, safe, and well cared for. It was obvious he was in great hands and enjoyed his time with her. We are so grateful for the wonderful care she provided and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker or pet sitter. Thank you, Sophia, for taking such great care of Bishop!
Emily took great care of our dog while we were away!! The communication and care was amazing! Given that the doggy was not feeling his best, she helped him out and updated us how he was doing! And was creative when we hit a snag with the access to our house! Would recommend her care!
I can't say enough about Elizabeth! She was wonderful! I was so worried about finding a dog walker, and she eased my fear. She's definitely confident when it comes to larger breed dogs, the size and look of my dog did not faze her! The initial meet and greet went well! And I think it helped with the relationship between her and my dog.. I'm so relieved that we have someone that we can count on! And someone that my dog likes, and it comfortable to go on walks with! Thanks Elizabeth!! See you next time! 😉
Bryndon is great! Our dog usually barks at everyone that comes in the house. She did not bark at all with Bryndon. She met him at the door and after a few sniffs, sat down so he could pet her! Bryndon was very engaged in learning about Miracle's personality and quirks. He was engaged with her and at the same time maintained full control of her (she can pull at times). Bryndon was also very attentive to everything we shared with him about Miracle and we are very confident that Miracle will be in great hands on her walks with Bryndon.

The average cost of Dog Walking in South Hackensack is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in South Hackensack. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in South Hackensack after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Hackensack. On Rover:
- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
